Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the final step of meiosis or mitosis where the cytoplasmic division of a cell results into two new daughter cell.

Basically last step of one cell going into two new cells (cyto = cells, kinesis = movement)

What it is:

Cytokinesis is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.

When it takes place:

Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the late stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.
